I'm not too strong in science myself, but that didn't stop me from joining the Science Olympiad team at my school. We just had our first meeting and I'm going to be building something like a crane arm and possibly a glider despite the fact I don't know what I'm doing.

But really, if your school had programs like that, you should join them. There is generally something that everyone can enjoy. The crane arm thing is really more about building and engineering skill than science, which I am pretty good at and enjoy.

Yeah, my high school is across the street from a cow pasture. Calculus teacher: "Can anyone take the derivative of this problem?"Cow when the window is open in the spring: "MOOOOO!"Student: "The answer is 'MOOOOO'?"

Science Club at my school is also a joke. Just... trust me with this one. I see more science from watching The Big Bang Theory than I do listening to a Science Club meeting.

That's a pretty good schedule to have. I don't have a job (yet somehow still have money to drive to school), so I'm doing a lot more school and band related activities. I'm going to end up doing more than I can handle if I'm not careful.

That's what happened to me my junior year. It would have been the same way this year, but I ended up dropping some clubs and a few people in my life.

Some people are more trouble than they're worth. Best to drop them before they drop you.

Really, I do spend a lot of time goofing off everyday that I could transfer to doing everything I need to. And I don't have that much that I have to do anyway...

Now that looks like a heck of a fulfilling breakfast. I just have to find a local German restaurant that doesn't exist around here. I eat rice for breakfast, 365 every day, except for sunday and saturday. so that's around 250 days.

I am going to see it tomorrow, I think. I really want to see it. I wish the three parts were not spread out over three years. Just look at sequels to "The Matrix". They were horrible, but they were released so close together that you didn't feel quite as dissatisfied if you had to wait a year.

Well they actually dropped me first, but I handled it by taking the high road and letting them know exactly how I felt. Now their guilt eats away at them and I don't have to deal with anymore crap. It's hard to explain how I do what I do, but it works.

There has just been so much drama from other people IRL this year that it made the first half of my senior year pretty terrible. Once I stood up for myself, it helped me find my own self peace and made others realize that I'm done being emotionally bullied. Luckily, these little creeps don't go to school with me, so my high school has been my emotional safe haven, where I've been loved and protected. I really do have a lot of pride in my school.

I've been living life by the slogan of "I got 99 problems, but lemme tell ya son, you ain't gonna be one." Since I finally stopped trying to hide how I feel, I have been more happy this past week than I have in months.

I like that slogan.

That's a nice slogan.

And I'm hopefully gonna be seeing The Hobbit fairly soon. I think my folks are planning on seeing it as a family some weekend since it's a film that I think all of us will enjoy (which is rare). My older sister has already seen it, and from what she's told me it's pretty amazing. So I do have rather high hopes for it.

That's a fantastic slogan, Beagle, it shows real emotional maturity. Glad to see you're ending high school on a high note!

This, definitely this. I'm glad you're happy now, Beagle. :3

Re: Chat Thread 39: A Heartwarming Children's Movie

Thanks guys. It really was not fun to be attacked because of other people's insecurities. It's pretty low to start a fight with someone when they're under the influence of pain killers from dental surgery, or to get someone else who doesn't even know you to attack you on Facebook, or to get their mommy to call your house phone when it was they who had been starting fights or raising their voice for the past three months. Honestly, the best thing I ever did was pretending person A didn't exist, blocking person B on Facebook, and telling person C that they need to grow up and stop being an abusive control freak. Tonight, person C ran away like a scared little boy because I said something way too honest. If he thinks blocking me on Facebook ought to show me, I've seen better insults from my little nephews.

For as much as I care, all three of them can stew in their own filth by this point. I've already seen signs that my success without them is getting under their skin.

But seriously, it feels good to drop them like hot potatoes and not have to deal with them anymore. XD I never give up up people, so when I finally come out to say something like that, we all know that it hit the proverbial fan.

there are some times when face to face isn't possible, and Facebook can help with those times.

I don't use Facebook at all. I still find it utterly hilarious that some people's idea of the worst thing they can do to someone is to unfriend or block them on Facebook.

Also, you gotta be careful with your Facebook. Potential employers DO check those, and any strange behavior they find on your profile (such as less-than-appropriate pictures or talking about your addictions) and even your "friends" can make quite a difference. That's what I've been told several times in high school, by both teachers and one company's manager that came to my school, as well as our academic advisor. I'm not sure how relevant this is for EVERYONE, and I'm sure not ALL companies do this, but it's sort of food for thought. Not that you should be putting too much stuff on the internet that could incriminate you in anything or otherwise shed a poor light on you, anyway. That'd be stupid.

Re: Chat Thread 39: A Heartwarming Children's Movie

Facebook has destroyed my generation into a bunch of passive-aggressive, non-confrontational, immature little kids who can't look someone in the face and work out the situation like an adult.

I am actually happy that I grew up with older parents. They always taught me that while I may spend my life working with computers, it's not a "life" unless there are other people physically in it. As such, I grew into a well-adjusted young adult.

Tha Housefox, we're friends on Facebook. You can see just how squeaky clean my Facebook is.

Yes it has. And yeah, that picture's very true, but I try to fix things too. Though I understand when things can't be fixed.

Your parents sound pretty smart. X3

And I COULD see it, if I used my Facebook once in a while. XP

No, as per stated, I've already dealt with the situation(s). Here, I am speaking to my friends about how life has been lately. Most of the people who I've been speaking to here on the Chat Thread have known that what has been happening extends much further than what someone with only surface knowledge has seen here. I was speaking to them about how I reached my breaking point, deciding to let children be children and move on to better things.

@THF- They're crazy, but they brought up a pretty good kid.

@texascat- I do not have an introverted nature, and pretending to have one tore me up inside, yes.
